Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World

"Brother, could you use some other methods to help me find it?" Wei Shang said.

“This matter is not so simple. The most important thing is that we don’t know what kind of boat he was on! And as you said, the workshop that was shut down before was only about 20 square meters. Larger fishing boats have that kind of space, so the method you came up with is very difficult!” Wei Dong said.

"Sigh, if you have time, could you keep an eye out for me? I reckon this ship is probably sailing off the coast of Mingzhu, and it won't come to the nearshore area to deliver the goods until they finish manufacturing it!" Wei Shang said.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you when it's convenient for me, but don't get your hopes up too high, since the technology isn't that advanced yet!" Wei Dong said.

“Okay, I’ll also investigate from Wanbei. There are two major warlords there who might be connected to this Lu Shaohua,” Wei Shang said.

"Oh? How did you know?" Wei Dong asked.

“When Lu Shaohua was still in Sihanoukville, he cooperated with a local drug trafficking group. That drug trafficking group used to sell heroin. The heroin business in Southeast Province was basically handled by a man named Commander Yun from Wanbei. So I guess he might be in contact with Lu Shaohua!” Wei Shang said.

"Who is the other person?" Wei Dong asked curiously.

“The other one is supposedly called Mr. G. I heard he was originally an educated youth from Beiping who went to Wanbei in the 1970s!” Wei Shang said.

"Mr. G? Mr. Guo? Could it be some bastard?" Wei Dong muttered to himself after thinking for a moment.

"Brother, do you have any leads?" Wei Shang asked curiously.

“I also went through that period. My father didn’t want us to get involved, but I still know those influential figures. Back then, there was a guy surnamed Guo who ran away with a group of people. I heard he went to Wanbei!” Wei Dong said.

“That’s quite possible. After all, someone who can reach that level is someone important anywhere,” Wei Shang said.

"Yes, contact Zhong Yuemin about this. He's familiar with people in that circle. Ask him. That kid's at Li Yuanchao's company now, so have him ask Li Yuanchao. He should be able to find out some information," Wei Dong said.

“Okay, then I’ll call Brother Zhong,” Wei Shang said.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on things for you!" Wei Dong said.

Looking at the phone, Wei Shang thought of contacting Zhong Yuemin, so he took out his phone book and started looking for Zhong Yuemin's number.

At this moment in Beiping, in the manager's office of Zhengrong Group, Zhong Yuemin was flirting with his secretary He Mei. Although He Mei was just an informant placed by Li Yuanchao next to Zhong Yuemin, she was not stupid. She could make the pretense seem real.

"Ring ring!" The office landline rang. Zhong Yuemin ignored it, but He Mei was not so ungrateful.

"Hey, answer the phone!" He Mei said, gently tapping Zhong Yuemin twice with her little fist.

Zhong Yuemin was furious with the person who called; wasn't this ruining his plans?

"Hello? Who is it?" Zhong Yuemin said in an unfriendly tone.

"Oh ho, did I ruin Brother Zhong's good time? Why are you so angry!" Wei Shang couldn't help but tease Zhong Yuemin when he heard his angry words.

"Who are you?" At this time, the phone did not have caller ID, and the sound transmission was somewhat distorted, so people who were not particularly familiar with each other could not recognize the other party's voice.

“Brother Zhong, I’m Zhao Weishang!” Weishang said with a smile.

"Wei Shang? Why are you calling me at this hour? You're ruining your brother's good time!" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but complain when he heard it was Wei Shang. However, he knew that Wei Shang was now the deputy director, so he must have something important to say when he called. He waved for He Mei to leave, and He Mei obediently straightened her clothes and went out.

"So, what do you need your brother for?" Zhong Yuemin watched He Mei walk out of the office and close the door, and sighed inwardly, thinking how sensible she was.

“Brother Zhong, I’d like to ask you about some old stories,” Wei Shang said.

"Old news? Why don't you ask your older brother? Or your older sister would be fine too? Those two brothers were top-notch in the industry back then!" Zhong Yuemin knew what Wei Shang wanted to know as soon as he heard it, so he couldn't help but ask.

“They certainly don’t know as much as you do! After all, Uncle Zhong’s position was much higher than my father’s back then!” Wei Shang said.

"Oh? Who do you want to find out about?" Zhong Yuemin asked.

"Guo XX, do you know Brother Zhong?" Wei Shang asked.

"Why are you asking about him? That kid disappeared after that incident back then. Why are you asking about him?" Zhong Yuemin became even more curious.

The person Wei Shang was asking about was a real big shot back then, whose status in the veterans' circle was much higher than Li Yuanchao's. When Li Yuanchao rose to prominence, it was already the latter half of his career, and because of the little rascal's incident, Li Yuanchao's reputation in the circle was ruined, so he faded out of the circle later on.

“I suspect that Mr. G, a major drug lord in Wanbei, is the guy who escaped back then,” Wei Shang said.

"Are you sure?" Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but ask seriously.

Although Zhong Yuemin is a playboy, he is not ambiguous when it comes to matters of principle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had such a big conflict with Irving.

"It should be pretty close. After all, there are too many coincidences in their conditions!" Wei Shang said.

"I never expected that after this kid ran away, he would turn around and start harming his own people!" Zhong Yuemin exclaimed.

“Brother Zhong, tell me more about this guy, and I’ll see if I can send an undercover agent to them!” Wei Shang said.

So Zhong Yuemin began to tell Wei Shang about some things from back then. He was one of the most famous veterans in Beiping, involved in many things, and very close to the Lin family's crown prince. He could be considered the crown prince's strategist.

After the incident, the kid disappeared. Some said he was dead, others said he went abroad. There were all sorts of rumors. If Wei Shang hadn't mentioned it today, Zhong Yuemin would have thought he had run off to some remote corner of the world and was just going to die.

“This man is very intelligent and extremely cautious. I advise you not to carry out your so-called undercover plan, because no matter who you send, it will be very difficult for them to escape his scrutiny!” Zhong Yuemin said, not forgetting to remind Wei Shang.

"Hmm, after hearing what you've said, I really feel it's best not to take the risk. This guy is not someone an ordinary person can handle!" Wei Shang was also still shaken. Luckily, he had inquired first and hadn't rashly sent anyone over!

“However, I can inquire around here for you. Since this kid is selling heroin to the mainland, he will definitely seek to cooperate with his original people. Ordinary people cannot gain his trust!” Zhong Yuemin said.
